DIO Signal, Channel, slot, and Vex UltraSonic
Ok, I'm trying to wire up a 8 bit switch up to the DIO of a sidecard that is attached to cRio module 4. The switch is in DIO position 1 & 2. The question I have is, when the context help refers to channel, and slot, what are they reffering to? Also, when we are using the get DIO value vi, it only returns a boolen, what a switch is suposed to do is return a value, right? So, how do I get the value?
Another question we have is, we have a vex ultrasonic sensor atached to DIO 3 & 4, and when we use the get range vi that labveiw supplies(after opening it of course), it always returns 0 in. We have the ultrasonic open outside of our teleop loop & case and the deviceref connect directly to the get range vi within the loop & case. When we turn execution highlighting on, the error wire is returning ok at all points before and after the get range vi. Any help?
